Mike Bridges The Art of Making a California-Style Vaquero Bridle Horse

Mike Bridges The Art of Making a California Style Vaquero Bridle Horse

The long awaited book by Mike Bridges!

Mike Bridges is an internationally known clinician and bridle horseman in the California Vaquero Style with more than fifty five years of making his living on the back of a horse.

The California Vaquero Style can be traced to the style of riding brought to Mexico and Southern California from the Iberian peninsula by the Portuguese and Spanish Conquistador who explored these new worlds. It is this link to the Portuguese and Spanish Conquistador that resulted in the similarities in horsemanship of the California Vaquero, the Doma Vaquera of the Iberian peninsula and the French School of Classical Riding.
